I should wear this more

My old DJ. I changed the dial to a pyramid a few years ago. I prefer this to the old style Romans and plain white dial. (Did keep original dial)

Datejusts are classic and they seem to be going up in price lately. I'm surprised what I see some people asking for 5 digit datejusts these days. I've been wearing my 16030 more ever since I put it on a leather strap. I really like the look of it on a strap.

That is outstanding. Pyramid dial should be standard issue to everybody in the world.

I have fell in love with my fathers Datejust. I had Beau @ Laww fix the damage I did to it over the years over polishing it. I also upgraded my dial.

I just snagged a original 89 UAE Armed Forces DJ too. I look at the Datejust much differently now. I think a fun dial makes these watches so cool. Your Pyramid dial is great!

I thought about the Sunray dial as well but the pyramid was just classy

The DJ in Rolesor was my first Rolex. Over 40 years old and still a good looking watch today.
